I was lucky enough to stay at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel back when it opened (in 1997). I spent a few years as a teenager living in Kuwait with my family. being abroad, I was exposed to some amazing design and architecture. Living there made me who I am today, I have a different outlook on things (design wise and life/morals wise) and I want different things for myself than most people my age (i'm 24 in case you were wondering). I always knew that I wanted to be a designer in some aspect. whether is was an architect, landscape architect, or what I ultimately choose, interior design. I am excited to see where my future takes me... and I hope to design some amazing spaces. Now back to the hotel. Isn't it beautiful? I feel that its it far to often overlooked. I love the fluidity of if... a crashing wave into the arabian gulf. I hope to visit it again
